sophisticated threats and ever-broadening risk landscape
November 11, 2012
Injazat
Data Systems will take part in Frost & Sullivan’s Middle East
Enterprise Security Summit 2012 as Platinum Partner, with Injazat’s Head
of Information Security Kamran Ahsan to discuss reasons for enterprise
security to be adaptive as business models are transforming,
technologies are evolving and threats are approaching new heights of
advancement and sophistication. Titled “Information Security Management –
when the going gets tough!”
the presentation highlights a proactive strategy of security management
that anticipates and mitigates risks associated with business assets
and services.
The
Summit, which will be held at the Habtoor Grand Beach Resort in Dubai
on November 21, 2012, seeks to complement ongoing reforms in information
security in the Middle East, particularly in the UAE where several
measures are being undertaken to enhance information security, both at
the government and corporate levels.
“Information
security is increasingly becoming a main concern in today’s modern
business environment. This trend is very much evident in the Middle
East, where enterprises have experienced information-related threats
such as infiltration, data leakage and cyber warfare among others.
Injazat Data Systems will highlight how enterprises can proactively
address these challenges and mitigate risks associated with business
assets and services of enterprises. Moreover, with the best minds in
enterprise security attending this event, we expect to have an in-depth
discussion of the new trends and developments in information security in
the Middle East,” said Ibrahim Lari, CEO, Injazat Data Systems.
Andy
Baul Lewis, Director, Information and Communication Technologies
Practice, Middle East and North Africa, Frost & Sullivan states,
“The changing Enterprise landscape and paradigm shift in communications
to collaborative technologies, coupled with increased Internet
penetration and information sharing, network threats are making
organizations review their security policies. Also, with the Government
spending on IT, the Middle East Network Security market is expected to
grow over the next five years, thereby opening up huge opportunities for
vendors to identify and tap.”
The
key areas of discussion at the Summit would include Information
Security Management, Evolving Role of the CIOs, Protecting IT
Infrastructure from Future Threats, Efficient and Effective ways to
protect Data and Applications, Ways to Manage Security Gaps in an
Enterprise and Bridging the gap between Security and Operational
Efficiency.
This
summit aims to convene the best minds in Enterprise Security under one
roof to create an interactive milieu for exchange of knowledge and
ideas.
The
Middle East Enterprise Security Summit 2012 will be attended by
government representatives and senior executives of leading corporate
organizations in the region, including CIOs/ CISOs/ CTOs, Vice
Presidents, Directors, General Managers, Network Managers, Enterprise
Security Architects, Internet Security Architects, Compliance Officers
and Department Heads. The Summit aims to address the emerging and
continuing threats to enterprise security, as well as respond to
increasing risk of security breaches and data leakage, cyber warfare,
and data center security, among others, in the Middle East.
